Chapter 75 Anthony Threatens
Just as Natasha was learning how to play, Denise called.
Natasha turned on speaker mode.
“Why aren’t you back yet, Nat? It’s getting late,” Denise asked.
“I forgot to tell you all to not wait for me for dinner. I still have something to take care of, so I’ll be returning late.”
“Where are you?”
“Hamilton Corporation,” Natasha replied without thinking because she was learning how to play poker.
Denise became silent for a short moment before speaking again. “Okay, Nat. I hope it goes well for you.”
“All right.”
After the call ended, Ross stared at Natasha. “Your little sister is quite cute.”
Natasha didn’t bother to correct him because he wasn’t the only person who misunderstood their relationship. After all, who wouldn’t if her children kept on calling her Nat?
“Royal flush,” Natasha uttered as she put down her cards. The three men were shocked.
Even though she didn’t know how to play before, she sure did learn quickly.
She absolutely dunked on them right after learning the rules.
Ross gazed at her. “You’re telling me you don’t know how to play, Ms. Watson? Are you lying to us?”
“This is my first time playing,” Natasha answered sincerely.
He was at a loss for words.
Thomas sighed. “Thank goodness we didn’t bet money. Otherwise, my wallet’s getting empty in no time.”
Xavier patted his wallet and sighed in relief.
“Again.” Ross didn’t believe she was that good.
Just as they were starting another round, the deputy general manager finally arrived.
He was going to assert his dominance over them, just as Thea advised. However, he didn’t expect to see them playing poker. “You lot—”
Natasha returned the cards to Ross and stared at the deputy general manager. “Ah, you’re finally here. We were about to head for supper if you hadn’t arrived.”
“What is this attitude?” the deputy general manager asked displeasedly.
“Our attitude? We waited more than half an hour for you. Is that not sincere enough?” Natasha then glanced at the time. “More precisely, we have been waiting for you for forty-five minutes.”
The deputy general manager furrowed his eyebrows.
“Are you going to start now or should we discuss this another day? Or perhaps I should discuss this with Kenneth or Thea directly?”
Upon hearing that, he immediately spoke. “Since the matter has fallen into my hands, I will take care of it. Let’s start.” He then took a seat.
Natasha gave her colleagues a glance before sitting down and starting the discussion.
While the deputy general manager wanted to make things difficult for her, he could see she wasn’t someone to be trifled with. Additionally, he wasn’t as sharp-tongued as her in the following discussion.
Time passed as the discussion continued.
“Do you know why Nat is still not back yet, Tony? Even though it’s getting really late?” Denise stared at her brothers and asked in between giggles.
“Why?”
“It’s because Nat is at Hamilton Corporation, where Mr. Handsome is at.”
When she finished speaking, Anthony and Benjamin turned to look at her.
“Nat told me when I called her earlier.”
“She didn’t avoid mentioning where she is?” Benjamin asked.
Denise shook her head. “Nat doesn’t know we know Mr. Handsome exists, so she was frank about it.”
Anthony thought about it and uttered unwillingly, “It’s bound to be bad news if she’s still not back yet at this hour.”
“Don’t think about it this way. Maybe Mr. Handsome is just trying to create an opportunity to spend some time alone with her.”
“No, I’m calling Nat.” Anthony was about to make a call when Denise stopped him.
“Don’t forget, we promised not to interfere with her love life.”
He stared at her, recalled the promise, and returned to his room.
“Tony.”
